Episode description

In this episode, Brian and Josh discuss taking a strengths-based approach to tennis. This episode was inspired by a paper titled “The Strengths-Based Performance Profile (SBPP): A Method for Strengths-Spotting and Application in Single-Session Consultations with Athletes” (link below). The co-hosts review the importance of having a clear understanding of one’s strengths and weaknesses as a starting point for adopting this perspective. Additionally, they discuss how tennis players can base their game around their strengths and win matches despite weaknesses or perceived weaknesses in their game.
